The new Ukrainian Freedom Orchestra, consisting of recently refugeed Ukrainian musicians, Ukrainian members of European orchestras and top Ukrainian musicians, will participate in a concert demonstrating the power of art over adversity on 31 July.

The Ukraine Ministry of Culture is granting a special exemption to military-age male members of orchestras inside the country, enabling them to participate.
